Genome Assembly of the Diploid Self Compatible Potato Cultivar Solyntus

Description

The potato is one of the most important food crops worldwide. Improvements to its traits can therefore have a major impact. Reading the genome structure of the potato is extremely tricky, however, as a regular potato consists of four genomes, which makes it difficult to determine the position of the genes. The recent research applied a diploid real potato plant with only one genome, a so-called homozygote, which makes it easier to read and compare the DNA base sequence. This line, Solyntus, was produced as part of Solynta’s hybrid potato breeding programme.
